Human rights are ideas about what everyone is
entitled to. Basic human rights include the right to
life, and the right to food and clean drinking water.
Others include the right to vote and to freedom of
expression. In the UK, most people have their basic
human rights met most of the time. However, in
some countries people's freedoms may be limited.
Also, in the UK, there are still areas of human rights
that some people believe could be improved, such
as the rights of people with disabilities.
The modern idea of human rights was developed after 
the Second World War, during which many people's 
rights were violated. On a large scale, these human 
rights abuses are known as war crimes. As a result, 
the United Nations (UN) was formed to provide a place 
for nations to resolve conflicts peacefully. It was set up 
by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), 
which consisted of 30 articles describing the basic rights 
of every person, and was signed in 1948 by 48 countries.
